T The Farm Name a Trade Mark

The advantage of having the farm home named and using the name on the business stationery has often been discussed in these columns. Desirable as that has been heretofore, a law passed by the Legislature recently adjourned makes it still more desirable, since it is designed to prevent a confusion of farm names in the same section of the country.

This law provides that owners of farms may have registered with the county clerk any name they may select for their farm or ranch, and gives them the excluHive right to use such names in any county.

This will prevent confusion of names to a very desirable degree and will also enhance the value of the na'ne of the farm as a business tVade-mark. It has been demonstrated in manv

instances that where products are* grown upon the farm which may be so packed as to reach the consumer in original packages, it pays to have the name of the farm where the commodity was grown on ihe package, particularly if the quality is kept at high standard at all times, since customers using a satisfactory article so marked will be sure to want more of the same thing. It would be the part of wifidon for Michigan farmers to take advantage of this law when in goes into effect and register their farm trade-mark with the county clerk, and in the meantime it would be well to consider suit­able names for tha purpose.— Michigan Farmer.

Remain in School

Passing the Eighth Grade Will

No Longer Exempt Pupils

Every child in the State of Michigan under the age of sixteen must be in school or regularly employed, without regard to whether or not he or she has pass­ed the eighth grade, according to an ammendment of the compuls­ory school law which Governor W. N.Ferris has recently approved.

Heretofore those children who had passed the eighth grade satis­factorily were exempt from the provisions of the law regardless of their age.

Beginning with August 15, any child claiming exemption on ac­count of having passed the eighth gtade must secure work permit from the county commissioner of schools or from the graded school superintendent and must be regularly employed at some lawful work if physically able to do so. This law, it is expected, will have a decided tendency to keep boys aud girls in school for a longer period and an increase in high school enrollment is insured.

SMART WITHOUT f fJSS-S h u w s S0ME N ° v f L IDEAS

NEW FROCKS FCR L ITTLE GIRLS SLIP ON LIKE COATS.

No Cause to Complain of Lack of Variety in Children's Dresess

This Season—Simplicity the Watchword.

Certainly no OIK; will have cause to complain of any lack of varii ty in children's frocks this season. They are as original and show as inn:h in­dividuality as those designed for their

elders. rl here is no restriction as to materia., and, as to design, bo h the coat drens and the-long waistod ef­fects an> ab nit equally popular. Frills and fluffy ruffles tin not seem to be­long to the cluidren of nowadays, the sinartnes:; of their frocks being at­tained through good lines and sim­plicity, though not necessarily, tevere-ly.

An effective design for a sm: 11 girl is here sketched. A telling pc int in its favor is that it slips on like a coat, buttons down one side and is belted in loosely with a soft crusheo sash, which, in its treatment, forms the feature of the frock. White eponge or ratine is used, cut in one piece from neck to hem. The opening down the left, side is curved from under the collar, and has the lower corners rounded off, leaving a very short notch in the skirt. The deev *s are long and easy fitting, set into dropped armholes under a corded seam. Hlue or tan colored ratine m a y be• "ured for the round turned back collar and cuffs, with the buttons along the side opening to match, or if may be left all white. A nine-inch width cf mes-saline will be better and softer than ribbon for the sash, which i3 tied loosely about the wnist with cue end run through the eye.h-t in fro:it and knotted under the opening.

Handkerchiefs for This Season Are Dainty, and Many Original De­

signs Are Seen.

All is astir in the handkerchief mar­ket. New samples are being received. lines for roadmen arranged and plans completed for the coming season. As usual, absolute novel Ideas are few and far between, but the desired element of novelty is found in new and clever interpretations of old motifs.

The one corner idea continues to hold the center of attraction. The features of this season's productlunB are daintiness of the designs and their careful arrangement so as to extend up into the body of the handkerchief, instead of spreading out at each side. as in former seasons.

One-sided designs are again Ih evi­dence, and will find favor by adding the spice of variety.

The Longfellow initial won such widespread favor last season that its position in this season's lines 1B prac­tically secure. Many new Lonfellow designs are shown surrounded by elaborate decorations, but the simpler, daintier effects will have first place in popular esteem.

The oriental initials which made their appearance last spring are again featured, and as the oriental influence is pronounced in women's we^ar they should find even greater favor than ever before.

The usual big movement in simple initial handkerchiefs, both script and blocked, is expected. The dainty un decorated letters are indicated for a slight preference over the decorated ones. Among the daintiest Initialed numbers are those finished with a tiny Armenian lace edge.—Dry Goods Eco­nomist.

In the Nursery.• One of the handiest articles a young

mother can have in the house is a low hall tree, which should be out down to be only three or four feet high, and will be one of the most con­venient pieces of furniture, for on it can be slipped the little long dresses and petticoatB, which are most con­venient when always within reach Then it is a good way to air the little articles that come from the laundry.

ifcy C. B. MIM-KR.) The growing of vegetables and fruit

has become so important that im- ; proved tools are now demanded for j proper cultivation, in order to get j the very best results cultivation must j be carried to the limit and the old-, fashioned hoe and rake will not sup- j ply all the needs of the up-to-date gardener.

No. 2 is especially useful for cover­ing seeds and for heavy weeding.

NO. 3 Is a combined hoe and rake and enables the operator to do either hoeing or raking without laying aside one tool and taking up the other.

fBy R. O. WEATHER8TONE.) Green crops fed as a supplement to

pasture may be fed in the pasture or in the barn lot but as a rule are fed most economically in the barn. The COWB remain Inside long enough at milking time to eat their portions.

As a rule the most economical method of supplying feed to help out the short pastures of midsummer and fall is to feed corn silage. Silage will keep in good condition for summer feeding with no loss except on the surface. If it is not needed during the summer, it may be covered with the new silage and kept until wanted Corn furnishes a larger yield of dry matter per acre than any crop that can be ordinarily grown for summer feeding, and has the further advan­tage of being on hand as early as wanted.

It is handled more economically also than soiling crops since it is cut all at once and not every day as is neces­sary with soiling crops.

It should be remembered that it is only possible to feed a bunch of cows economically when they are fed as individuals and not as a herd. A too common practice, even in the otherwise well conducted herds, is for all animals to be fed the same amount of grain, regardless of the time they have been in milk or the quantity of milk the individual cows are produc­ing. Such feeding always lacks econ­omy, as the high producing cow does not get enough, and while she may milk very well for a time, she soon comes down to a lower level, while the lighter producing cow usually gets too much feed and accumulates fat.

Clover Bloat. Bloat in cattle generally comes RB

the result of pasturing clover, though it Is a fact that in some cases ordi nary grass pasture will produce the same results if it is rank when cattle that have not been used to it are turn­ed in. The importance of getting cat­tle used to clover while it Is dry can­not be overemphasized.

It may be necessary in some In­stances to turn them in for an hour or two only during the middle of the day, and continue this for two or three days, so that the ravenous edge for the new clover is taken off their appetites Under no circumstances should they be turned from a dry lot when they are hungry into a clover held.

(By R, M. GOW.) The characteristics which mark the

present race of Jersey cattle are known to have been notable and prom­inent In the breed at least one hun­dred and fifty years ago. so that now they have become thoroughly "fixed," sure to be inherited by their progeny, thus affording the breeder a sure foun­dation for further development.

The main external characteristics of the .Jerseys are the beautiful softness of the various tints of fawn and gray in their coats of hair; their gracefully formed dper like limbs; their neat, in­curving horns, large limped eyes, small heads and delicate noses; their bright, attractive and Intelligent faces; their soft yellow skin, long tails and

Ferti l izing Properly. Farmers are paying out millions of

dollars each year for fertilizers Probably the greater part of (his money is well spent, but it is possible

. that it might be better spent by a more careful selection of the goods used, by adapting the fertilizer to the crop and soil, and by buying on the basis of plant food they contain, rath­er than by seeking goods that sell at a low price.

Well-developed male animals should weight from 1400 pounds to 1&U0 pounds, and females, from 760 to 1200 pounds Above all else, Jerseys at­tract notice by the "dairy" type of their bodily conformation, by their large and well-formed udders, and prominent milk-veins. In color they are of various shades of soft fawn, from red to silvery, with more or less white, broken eclor being unobjection­able except from the standpoint of in­dividual taste.

right. A farmer owning six cows should

have a silo. De sure that the temperature of the

milk is r igh t It is not possible to grow too much

forage on a dairy farm. A comfortable stable reduces the

cost of maintenance and increases the flow of milk.

Feed regularly, not too ,much at a time, and young calves a t least . four times a day.

QOVERNMENT DROPS CHARGES AGAINST HEADS OF LUMBER

COMPANIES.

EVIDENCE FOUND TO BE INSUF­FICIENT.

Five Civil Suiti Will, However, Be Pushed by Department of Jus­

tice to Dissolve Alleged f Trust.

Criminal indictments against 14 sec­retaries and former secretaries of lumber associations throughout the country have been dismissed at the in­stance of the department of justice. Five civil suits filed by the government for the dissolution of the alleged lum­ber trust are still pending. The in­dictments were returned in Chicago in 1911 and charged the defendants representing 14 associations with con­spiracy to restrain trade. An alleged black list figured largely in the testi-many given the grand jury. Later the five civil suits were filed and these, it is said, eventually will come to trial. The indictments were quashed by Uni­ted States Judge Carpenter at the re-kuest of District Attorney Wilkerson, who acted on instructions from Wash­ington. According to statements by counsel for defendants, the govern­ment found that its evidence bearing on the indictments was insufficient. Most of the men indicted no longer are secretaries of lumber associations.

Impersonates Woman and Escapes, George Bogartis, a Mexican-Ameri­

can rancher of wealth, attributes his personal safety and the possession of his money to his success at feminine impersonation. Captured near Oputo, Sonora, Bogartis was ordered to -pay $6,000 for his life. He took the ban­dits to his ranch house and told them to wait outside while he fetched the money. In the house he put on wom­an's clothes, and secreting his money, boldly passed through the picket lines which had been placed about the prem­ises. The bandits doffed their big hats as the supposed woman passed, and the rancher safely made his way to the border, depositing his money ,'n a bank at Douglas, Ariz.

May Not Grant New Rights.

That the war department has no authority to extend water power priv­ileges at Niagara Falls or grant new rights to power companies is the posi­tion that Brigadier-General William H. Bixby, chief of engineers, took In a conference with Representative Wil­liam G. Shark of jQhio, ranking mem­ber of the house committee on foreign affairs. NThe chief of engineers also expressed his opinion that the expira­tion of the Burton act left the power concerns at the Falls without any guarantee or license by which they could continue to use the water at the falls.

8katlng Rink In the Home, Berlin has a new skating rink, which

will remain open most of the year, •inoe through a new invention a supply )f artificial ice can be obtained which will not melt even in high tempera* lures. The substance is dissolved in pails of warm water, and then sprayed on the ordinary floor. It dries in the course of a few hours, and theu new coats are added until finally it Is a third of an inch thick. An excellent skating surface ts obtained, and the only effect of heat is to "dry" the ice. The remaining substance can be re-dissolved and us?d again. A big store at Cologne has already installed a rink with this artificial Ice on one of its upper floors. It is Intended to place the product on the market, so that all can have their own rink and practice figures of eight and the out­side edge at any time of the year.— Liverpool Weekly Post

MICHIGAN NEWS TERSELY TOLD Kalamazoo.—His Jealousy aroused

because his wife, Bernice, danced with another man at a ball in Kendall, Harry Hosaker, proprietor of the Kendall hotel at that place, drank carbolic acid and died 30 min­utes later while praying that the at­tending physician might save his life. According to the etory of the affair told in Kendall, the hotel proprietor and his wife went to a 4ance. When the wife was alleged to have given a number of dances to another man, Hosaker is alleged to have cried. "You will be sorry for this." He. is said to have gone to the hotel imme­diately and was found a short time later by guests. A physician wai summoned and the suicide, screaming with agony, prayed that he might live. He died shortly after the ar­rival of the physician. The wife is said to have declared that her actions were not such that her husband should have become jealous.

Grand Rapids. — Fanned by a strong wind, fire destroyed the plant of the John Knape Machine company, besides burning eight homes in prox­imity to the plant. The loss is above $100,000. The residences belonged to an estate and its loss is $40,000. The Great Western Tile company's plant with hundreds of barrels of oil was threatened. The Decatur Truck com­pany, across the street from the oil plant, was saved although the flames were carried directly over the build­ing at times.

Cadillac.—Some weeks ago lumber mill men of Cadillac asked for a wage increase of ten per cent, from $1.90 and $2. The owners of nine of the largest mills in the city were requested to meet a committee of workmen to consider a new wage scale. None of the employers ap­peared and a strike was declared. The employers are opposed to an increase in wages and especially so for the reason as they assert, that the I. W. W. is making the demand instead of the individual.

Day City.—The tinners and sheet metal workers in practically all of the shops in the city struck! All are idle, although some of the em­ployers state that th'ey have men coming from other cities and will be able to take care of all tb/elr busi­ness within a day or two. The men say the bosses wanted men to agree not to work for any master tinner who does not belong to the associa­tion and the employers say the men want an advance in wages.

Holland.—Miss Herydrime E. Hos-pers of Ontario, N/. Y., a senior student at Hope college, has been giv­en her credentials as a representa­tive of the Reformed church to the South Japan mission. Miss Hospers will graduate from Hope college this month and expects to leave"for-the" orient in September.

Jackson.—Rosle Mullen, the eleven-year-old giry who attempted to end her life by swallowing carbolic acid, will recover, according to the hospital doctors.

Olivet. — Reports from Ann Ar­bor state that there is a possible chancy of the complete recovery of Orville Goodwin, the young Olivet man who had his back broken while driving a load of hay into a shed on May 24. Goodwin was taken to the Ann Arbor hospital recently and there it was discovered that the spinal column was snapped into at a point so low in the back that there was hope of partial or complete recov­ery.

Battle Creek. — While playing in the street with several other youngsters, Earl Luhrs, eight, was struck and instantly killed by an auto driven by G. H. Stewart, of School­craft, who stopped his car immediate­ly and gave himself up to the police, but it is believed that no action will be taken against him. Eye witnesses declare the lad was entirely to blame.

Grand Rapids. — Speeding their taxlcabs at 30 miles an hour, ac­cording to witnesses, six persons in a machine owned by the Grand Rapids Taxicab Co. and driven by Jay L. Thomas, overturned at the crossroads two miles ndrth of Alto. All six were injured, none seriously. The taxicab turned completely over and rolled against a fence.

lP> ! -OVER-MODESTY BAR TO SUCCESS.

Don't be afraid to express an opin* Ion, even if It is differnt from the opinion of the boss. He may like a man with spirit and with brains enough to have an opinion. But don't have opinions unless you have studied from both sides. One of the most annoy ins types in the business world Is the man who always wants to start an argument. Don't let one mis-Lake make you lose your nerve. Lots of times a mistake has helped a man, llrst by making him more careful in the future, and second, by bringing him into the limelight. It's better to be noticed once in a while, even for a mistake, than to be ignored. If your work has been satisfactory your good work will shine by contrast, and you won't be unduly blamed for your error. A whole lot of men have failed to rise because they were too modest. If you believe you can do a thing, try It. Express belief in your own ability, but first be sure you have the ability. Nobody but yourself knows what you can do, and if you are too modest to let people find out what you know, you have only your­self to blame if the boss doesn't seem to appreciate you. It's all right to learn the duties of the man next high­er up in case you get a raise, but there are hundreds of men who never get the raise because they are so busy learning the higher up work that they forget their own duties. Do your own work carefully first, and then after you have finished it's time enough to want to do the work of the other fellow.

JUSTICE GERARD SLATED

SPANISH POST. FOR

Wil l iam F. McCombi Wi l l Likely Be

Minister to France and Former

Gov. McMil lan to Go to

Persia.

The success of the anti-typhoid in­oculation In the United States army bas been such that the authorities have decided to extend its protection to. the families of soldiers. Colonel Surgeon L. Mervin Maus, chief medical officer for the department of the east, who has been stationed at Governor's is­land for a year, has obtained typhoid antitoxin from the army laboratory at Washington. All women under forty-flve and all children over ten years of age are to be made immune to the fever. Undoubtedly the confi­dence of the army in this prophylac­tic will influence the extension of its employment in civil life. Among the Lrst to resort to it as a class might be expected to be the traveling men, who continually take fresh risks with Strange drinking water.

President Wilson has settled upon a large number of diplomatic appoint­ments.

Among the men who are on the president's slate are Justice William Gerard, of New York state, who will be appointed minister to Spain. It is understood tonight that William F. McCoinbs, the chairman of the Dem­ocratic national committee, still has the post of Paris under consideration. Mr. McCombs is now iu France.

Henry Moigenthau, of New York, is likely to be nominated, it is under­stood, to be minister either to Tur­key or China.

One of the other important foreign missions^ that President Wilson has decided upon is -the ambassadorship to Italy. This place will go to Fred­erick c. Penfletdr of Philadelphia, one of President Wilson's supporters in the pre-convention campaign. Some of the lucky ones on the president's list are:

P. A. Stovall, editor of the Sa­vannah News, probably minister to Switzerland; John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, Ind., either to Cuba or Ar­gentina; Albert Schmedeman, of Mad­ison, Wis., secretary of the Wisconsin Democratic state committee, minister to Norway; Benton McMillan, former governor of Tennessee, minister to Persia, Coloned Thomas-Burch, of New Jersey, who was Mr. Wilson's Aide when he was governor and who was one of his strong supporters tn the preconvention campaign, probably to Belgium.

White, the Finance Minister, delivered a few days ago before the House of Commons, Mr. White's remarks are in part a | follows:

"It falls agreeably to my lot j f ex­tend my most hearty congrftfaKons to the House and the country^upon the prosperous conditions which It continues to be our good fortune to enjoy. I am happy to announce that the outcome of the last fiscal year, which ended on March 31, will prove even more satisfactory as reflecting by far the highest pitch to which onr national prosperity has yet attained. I have every expectation that when the books are closed, It will be found that the total revenue will h*ve reached the splendid total of $168,250,000, or an increase over the year 1911-12 of over $32,000,000. Some Indication of the magnificent growth of the Domin­ion may be gleaned from the fact that this increase in revenue during the pe­riod of one year almost equals the en­tirerevenue of the country seventy years ago.

"The augmentation of revenue to which I have referred has not been irregular, spasmodic or intermittent in its nature, but has steadily charac­terised each month of the entire fiscal year. It was of course mainly derived from Customs receipts, but the other sources of revenue—excise, post office and railways—also gave us very sub­stantial increases."

"That in a period of great finan­cial stringency not only have we not been obliged to resort to the con­gested markets of the world, but have been able to reduce so substantially ** ($23,000,000) the debt of the Domin­ion, must be a matter of gratification, both to the House and to the people * of Canada.

"I believe that during this period of exceptional money stringency the credit of the Dominion as reflected' in the quotations of Its securities has maintained Itself among the highest in the world."

HEN a naval aviator, Lieut. Ellysoh was launched in an aeroplane from a catapult recently and his flying machine bore him gracefully aloft without slightest tendency toward stumbling it market an important advance in the use of airships in the navy.

The aeroplane as an ad­junct to military- operations has al­ready showti its value both in Tripoli and in Turkey. Besides dropping bombs updn Turks and Arabs it has proved of greater usefulness in re­connoitring the position of the enemy. The Bulgarians have gone a step fur­thers and have used the aeroplane for ftYe control-purposes, enabling the bat­tery commanders of the field guns to train their weapons so as to make them tell most effectively against the Sultan's forces. This matter of Are control Is as vital tb a navy as to an army In action, especially when the guns bf a fleet are searching out the weak spots in the land defences. But heretofore the aeroplane has been less available for navy than for army use.

The catapult tested in Washington it the Invention of Captain Chambers of the navy, and is the outcome of va­rious lwsons learned while trying to adapt the aeroplane to the needs of the navy. The practicability of send­ing aeroplanes in flight from a suit-Able platform on board ship was j early demonstrated, but there were j Various minor problems to be solved.) The launching platforms employed Were both long and cumbersome. They took up space that would not be aval'-1 able in time of war, and they blocked , the fire of some of the guns. I

The long runway or sloping plai- j form was therefore prohibitive. With a short track substituted which could be easily and quickly put in plaeo

—and just speedily—demounted and stored out of the way, there arose the question of a means of starting the aeroplane effectively. For this pur­pose Captain Chambers devised the catapult. For years he had spe­cialised in torpedoes and was familiar with the devices successively tried in getting those weapons overboard from a boat. The catapult tried at Annapolis last summer was a sort of modified torpedo launching outfit of the earlier type, and compressed air was employed to give the Initial push.

The trial mechanism was of necessi­ty rather crude, but this fact did not deter Lieutenant Ellyson from sub­jecting himself in a hydroaeroplane to the extreme shock of the device in order to find out the effects of such a concussion, not only upon the air pilot, but likewise upon the motor attachment* and other fittings which might be wrenched loose or deranged That test was entirely satisfactory <n Us lessons, but the aviator and his 9*ohlne got a ducking.

The runway o r starting track is short and can be But in position in several places on a fighting ship without interfering -with the maneuvering of the guns or impeding any other operation of im­portance.

N'ow It happened that the machines

Captain Chambers has a very definite opinion upon this subject, which he explains as follows:

"A weight carrying aeroplane, such used by the Italians in Tripoli were a s a hydroaeroplane, necessarily needs not weight carriers, and it was there- a m o t o r w i t h considerable range of fore out of the question to support a ' speed, and the same kind of motor is second person in them. Accordingly j needed to reduce the danger of alight-the aviator had to do all the work \ , n8- l t h l n k aviation would be im-himself, and this explains why bombs Proved if the-ierms of future speed dropped from aeroplanes so often failed to hit their mark. The Italian

contests were arranged so as to re­quire each contestant to go over the

dirigible balloons, on the other hand. ! c°ur*G twice—the second time at an because they could be maneuvered ! average speed 20 pef cent, lower than deliberately and could lift a numi-er of persons, were successful as bomb throwers, and what they did showed what could be expected of a flying machine properly built for military work.

As a result of study a number of devices have been developed which make It possible now to insure to a large degree the automatic control of an aeroplane's equilibrium, and other apparatus Is being perfected which reduces the demands upon the avia­tor. Quite apart from the military importance of these later inventions, the physical and nervous stresses upon the aviator are fewer. These have proved so exhausting during the war between Italy and Turkey that the pilots have become incapacitated after six months of service, and doc­tors declare a rest period of at leant two years is needful in order to in­sure their recuperation and fitness again for duty with the flying squad­ron.

Among the helpful apparatus now being developed by an American firm is a gyroscopic device which gives promise of success in maintaining the stability of an aeroplane ra flight, captain Chambers Is engaged in the construction of an aerial compasa which will not only give directional guidance, but will also compensate for the drift or sidewise movement of the flying machine.

On the other side of the Atlantic in­strument makers have been working away at the same problem with more or less success. The market supply of such apparatus is not large. That there is need of Just such an aid to aerial navigation is.evidenced by the fact that a German firm was suddenly denuded of Its supply by the demands of the war to the Balkans. It, Is safe to say that no small share of the ef­fective aid rendered by the Bulgarian flying corps ha* bean directly dae to these instruments. '

In the past aviation generally has been encouraged more as a sportfaf

his highes%fl_yerage." The layman has heard so much of

anti-balloon guns and other weapons for the annihilation of all kinds of air­craft, that he pictures the flying ma­chine as being knocked into bits by the precise Are of these weapons. As a matter of fact, during the war in Tripoli the Italian aeroplanes were but seldom hit, never disastrously, and when up in the air three thousand feet they were not touched at all. Ameri­can naval, aviators, with their hydro­aeroplanes, have proved that it is en­tirely feasible for them to reach this height, and so far as endurance M flight is concerned, they hold the rec­ord—Lieutenant Towers of the na»y having traveled for six hours ten min­utes and twenty seconds in a stand­ard navy Curtias hydroaeroplane. In­ventors have developed an aeroplane wireless outfit of very moderate weight, and with this equipment aviators are able to cover a range of fifty miles.

The next naval conflict la likely to And hydroaeroplanes a feature of the essential equipment of all large men-of-war, and the flying machine must be considered seriously and not as a mere fad or a mechanical achievement of no material value. In peace-time maneu­vers the French have clearly shown that the aeroplane is capable of doing scout duty of an important character, detecting not only ships upon the wa­ter, but the presence of submarines supposedly hidden below the surface of the sea; and recent experiments with armor piercing bombs—dropped from aircraft—have turned a new page In the art of warfare.

TEST OF COOK'S SKILL

PROPER PREPARATION OF THE •WIET POTATO AN ART.

At Least an Hour In the Oven Is Nec­essary Properly to Bake Potato—

l o m i Useful Hints and Recipes.

If you would know the sweet pota­to in all its sweetness and goodness, you must leisurely tour the sunny south in "sweet tater time," when the entire clan of sweet is in its glory and prime. While the Jerseys are a very superior class, they lack the variety found in the southern family. Color and flavor range from the sleek, smooth red-coated sweet to the thin-skinned pale yellow and less sweet variety which will be sold you as white potato in some markets of the south unless you ask for Irish pota­toes. The great coarse yam that looks like an overgrown sweet, and sometimes weighs five or six pounds, is not a sweet potato at all. However, It lb a good substitute for the potato; is mealy and dry. and contains a large amount of starch. It Is not sweet, and is a wholesome food, though most peo­ple have to cultivate a taste for it.

To bring out the delicate flavor of the sweet potato is an art. Most cooks spoil it by cooking too quickly. At least an hour in the oven is essential to properly bake a sweet potato.

To Boil Sweet Potatoe*— Wash the potatoes well without breaking the skins. Clip the roots that adhere, put them in a kettle of boiling water and let them cook until they can be easily pierced to the center with a fork, without being actually soft. Drain off the water and set the kettle back on the stove, or in the oven, with a cloth thrown over the top and let steam about five minutes, so they will be mealy. Peel them at once, and serve plain with roast pork or beef. When served with fried or broiled fish, accompany them with a drawn butter sauce, or cut them In thick slices, but­ter well and set the dish in the oven a few minute*.

A Fast Day Dish.—This is a popular Creole breakfast dish served on fast days: Take rather large, smooth potatoes, peel them and fry in round slices and fry in deep, hot fat, same as Saratoga chips, until a fine brown. 8erve In a hot dish with plenty of butter poured over them.

Aunt Laura's Way—Boll the pota­toes as directed, then peel them and cut in rather thick lengthwise slices, Lay them in a deep dish and pour over each layer of slices a sauce made ac­cording to these directions: Take s cup each of sugar and butter and half a cup of hot water and boil until thie is thick. Some like a little grating ol nutmeg; others a small piece of stick cinnamon boiled In the sirup.

Caramel Sweet Potatoes—Boil the po­tatoes until just done; drain, peel and cut in halves lengthwise and fry a rich brown in lard and butter mixed. Sprinkle generously, while frying, with granulated sugar.

Sweet Potato Biscuit—Take one square of dry, mealy sweet potatoes boiled and grated, half cup lard, ball a cake of compressed yeast dissolved in half a cup of lukewarm water; mix with milk or water to a batter, and let rise twice. Bake the same as tea bis cult and break open and butter hot.

EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD

Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try­ing one to most women and marks dis­tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ona woman in a hundred is prepared or un­derstands how to properly care for her­self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi­ence with an organism unfitted for tha trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.

There is nothing more charming thai* a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing hi that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am-pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.

Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable) Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

In m a n y homes once childless there are now children be-cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink-ham's V e g e t a b l e Compound m a k e s w o m e n n o r m a l , healthy and strong.

Have your mils and tomatoes boiling In separate pans one quart of milk to one quart of to matoes. Put about a teaspoonful of soda In your tomatoes and while they are foaming up pour them Into yout milk. If you do this your soup will never curdle. Never put your milk into your tomatoes.

Superlative Degree and the Loud Pedal Should Be Held Some­

what In Check.

There are few things BO fine as en­thusiasm, and the world wants all it can get.

But there Is a difference between healthy enthusiasm and that effusive sentimentality known by the uglier and shorter word "gush."

Every girl has her "gush" period when everything is "adorable" and "perfect."

It Is fine, in a -way; we should be careful how we check the exuberance of the girlish nature. At the same time caution must be exercised against letting the habit be formed of flying into a febrile ecstasy about every small thing that cornea our way and making as much of It a* though it were an affair of the largest conse­quence.

It takes experience to hold In check the superlative degree and the loud pedal for the proper time and the deserving object.

But caution in the direction of not being too intense should not be with­held from the young. "Adorable" is too strong an adjective to be indis­criminately bestowed on poodles, china cups, opera singer*, and mati­nee idols.*

"Love" Is another strong word that needs all its strength to keep from worn out by Its use to express, for instance, a liking for Ice cream or delight In a week end invitation.

It Is not necessary to explode into raptures to prove one's self well pleased. Nor Is it physically good to be too intense.

TROUBLE NOT ON HIS MIND

It Was New Woollen Underwear That Caused Mr. Twinkle to Leave

So Suddenly.

"What's the trouble, Mr. Twinkle?" asked MiBf'Hooker, giving him all the encouragement Bhe could. "Is there something on your mind? You are so uneasy! It can't be that your chair doesn't suit you, for it's the same one you always sit in, so it must be something else that is making you restless. Stop fidgeting and tell me what It is. I'm sure I'm a sympathetic listener."

"H-I—I guess I'll have to be going, Miss Hooker. H-I somehow or other I do feel uneasy tonight, and know a long walk in the cold air will do me a world of good."

Then he rushed for the door, made a hasty adieu and was alone under the cold, cold stars.

"Oh dear!" he sobbed, in bitter an­guish, "and I'd just worked up my courage to pop the question tonight, too! Ding it all, why did I buy that cheap suit of woollen underwear!"

Barnum't First Circus Exhibit P. T. Barnum launched his career

An old bill of sale was exhibited, properly dated, concerning Joyce Heth, then 54 years old, and evidence was also furnished that she waa nurse to George Washington. Every­thing seemed so straightforward to the young man that he was eager to become the proprietor of this novel exhibition, which he purchased for 11,000, $500 of which he paid down, selling out his Interest in the grocery business, and the other $500 he bor­rowed. He saw that the thing to do was to make people talk and become curious and excited over rare spec­tacles. Regardless of expense he ad­vertised in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and the halls were thronged until Joyce Heth died.—Joe* Mitchell Chappie in National Mag* tlne.
